I have reviewed the manual's starting point recommendations, but I was
interested in other comparable implementations to see what people were
really running with, and how it was performing.
I am particularly interested in the deployments of MLM for offloading
status polling, i.e. What types of machines, how many, are being used,
with the high level hardware characteristics per my last note, and similar
info, if people are using a Client. I should add, we have APC PowerNet,
Compaq Insight Manager Integration, and CiscoView installed as well. We
have 8 Operators who use Exceed to Xsession in.
We are looking at the IBM pseries 640 with 4 processors, and 2GB. We plan
to use one primary server and one backup server. I am thinking we should
consider deploying MLM's as well.
Just interested in what other folks have done, in a similar sized
environment.
